In vitro fertilization (IVF) is the process of artificial fertilization which happens outside the women’s body. The egg of the women is surgical removed and are fertilized by a sperm in a laboratory. In vitro fertilization is mainly used by women having a problem in conceiving. However, IVF does not always result in pregnancy and success rate varies from individual to individual. IVF procedures have emerged as a preferable choice for the fertility treatments in clinical industry. The market is poised to witness a remarkable growth, primarily due to the related technological advancements such as pre-implantation genetic diagnosis (PGD) and three-parent IVF procedures.

The world IVF market accounted for $9,015 million in 2015 and is projected to garner revenues worth $17,714 million by 2022, registering a CAGR of 10.2% over the forecast period. The growth of the market is attributed to the reduced conceiving rates, delayed pregnancy, changing lifestyle conditions and fertility disorders are the major factors that drive the market growth. Other factors such as favourable reimbursement scenario and delayed parenthood opted by couples due to professional and financial constraints will also help in the growth of the market. On the other hand, barriers such as ethical concerns in particular countries with respect to IVF, high cost of the IVF procedures followed by low awareness, especially in under-developed economies such as Nigeria are likely to restrain the market growth.

Rising initiatives towards commercialization of cost-efficient treatments and emerging medical tourism, mainly in developing nations would offer lucrative growth opportunities for IVF service providers in future. Further, the growing clinical research initiatives for the development of novel IVF technologies would provide a platform for growth of the global IVF market.
